DESCRIPTION

Embroidery machine makes the single thread chain stitch and can be

quickl

y adjusted to make the drop or moss stitch without unthreading the machine. It is designed for ornamenting or embroidering curtains, upholstery, dresses, scarf, gloves, table covers, lace, etc. The machine also can make linen and towels for hotels, etc., by stitching a name into the material.

The thread may be of cotton, wool, worsted, si

lk, metal and other threads of similar adaptability. A large variety of fabrics can be embroidered, ranging from fine chiffon to china silk and cloth.

The usual method of producing embroidered designs i

s to follow a pattern that has been perforated, stamped or traced on the fabric, but with practice the operator can produce embroidery designs without pre-making the fabric.

SPEED

When first operating this machine, the best result s can be obt ained by running the machi ne at approximately 800 stitches per minute. T he speed can be increased as the operator become more proficient and the nature of the work permits.

TO OIL THE MACHINE

To insure easy running and prevent unnecessary wear of the parts which are in movable contact, the machine requires oiling.

Oil should be applied to the plac es designated by unlettered arrows in Figs. 1, 2, 9, and 10.

Fig. 1, End view of machine showing oiling points.

Fig. 2, Oiling points of the front of the machine

Fig. 2 shows the arm cover removed for the purpose of oiling. This arm cover can be removed after taking out thumb screw W, Fig. 8.

If the machine is used continuously, oil should be applied at least once each

day

NIPPLES, NIPPLES AND THREAD

Needles for embroidery machine are catalogue no. 5901 (137 x 1) and are available in si zes from 1 to 12. These needles have hook similar in appearance to those of hand crochet needles.

The needle must be selected accordi ng to the thickness and the style of the thread to be used. The thread m in the needle but must slide freely therein.

ust not only fill the opening of the hook

To correspond with the needle used in the machine a suitable nipple must be selected, as the needle in formin g the sti

tch has to operate through the nipple. The needl e must fit in the ni pple and slide freel y without side pl ay. Nipples are available in size numbers similar to those of the needles, and for general work the number of the nipple should be the same as that of the needle.

TO REMOVE, REPLACE AND SET NEEDLE AND NIPPLE

When it is necessary to change the needle and nipple on the machine, first select another n eedle and corresponding nipple. Then lower the presser bar, loosen wing screw B, Fig. 3 and remove needle hol der A and needle from top of machine. Unscrew nipple N, using the small wrench provided.

Select the correct needle hole in needle pl

ate D.

NOTE: The needle hole should be slightly larger than the needle, so that the needle, when laid around the needle, will have suf

ficient space to pass

without touching the sides of the needle hole.

Loosen thumb screw L and turn plate D until correct needle hol

e is in line

with needle, then tighten thumb screw L.

Next, screw selected ni pple into th e lower end of nipple carrier O and tighten securely with the small wrench. Screw selected needle into either end of needle hol

der A and tighten with pliers provided. Repl ace needle holder A down into sleeve and adj ust its height so that the fabric to be embroidered can just under the point of the needle.

Be sure handle K is as far to the front as possible and that the hook of the needle faces the front. Then tighten wing screw B, wh ich also should face the front.

TO THREAD THE MACHINE

Place the cone of thread in a convenient position on the floor.

Three thread eyelets are furnished with machine. These eyel

ets should be fastened to the underside of the t able as shown at 1, 2 and 3, Fig. 4. Eyelet 1 should be located directly above the cone of thread.

Pass the thread up from the cone and t hrough eyelet

s 1, 2 and 3, then through hole 4, over between tension di scs 5, through thr ead controller 6. Turn handle K, Fig. 5 to the front or slightly to the left, raise presser foot and insert threading wi re S in the forward hole 7 of needle plate. With the lef t hand, catch thread on hook of threading wire S and draw wire and thread up through hole of needle pl ate. With the left hand, hold end of thread with a slight tension.

With the right hand, turn handle K strai ght to the lef

t and, having started the machine, quickly bear down and up on handle K so that the needle will pick up the thread for one stitch.

Keep handle K in same position and, with the threadi

ng wire, draw thread directly toward you laying end of th read loosely on needle pl ate after it comes up through needle hole. The machine is then ready for operation.

LEARNING TO OPERATE THE MACHINE

NOTE: When in operation the machine pul

ley must always turn over away

from operator.

Mark a design (see Fig. 6) on a 12 inch square pi

ece of cloth.

Place cloth under presser foot so that needle will enter cloth at point 1. T

urn handle K, Fig. 3 to the right and the hook of the needl e will be turned in the sam e direction. Lower presser foot, start machine pulley by turning it over away from you, grasp handle K and pull it down to st art the machine. With handl e depressed and to the right, cloth will be fed to point 2, then turn handle to the front and cl oth will be fed to point 3, turn handle to the left and cloth will be fed to point 4, etc.

To stop machine raise handle K. machine will

stop with needle as its

highest point.

TO OPERATE THE MACHINE

The operator should practice embroi deri

illustrated below:

Fig. 7. Designs for beginners

These designs can be sketched on w hite material such as lawn, and by

ng designs similar to those

following them, the operator can soon become proficient enough to attempt more intri

cate designs or patterns.

TO REGULATE THE PRESSURE ON THE PRESSER FOOT

The pressure on the presser foot is regulated by the thumb screw C, Fig.

o increase the pressure, turn t he thumb screw over to the right or

3. T downward. To decrease the pressure, turn the thumb screw over to the lef t or upward.

TENSIONS

If stitches are too tight, raise needle holder approximately 1/16 i

nch.

Various effects can be produced by changi

ng the height of the needl e

holder as well as by adjusting the length of stitch.

The tension on the threa d is regul

ated by the thum b nut B, Fig. 4 at the left of the tension discs. T o increase the tension turn this nut over toward you. To decrease the tension turn this thumb nut over from you. This tension should be only tight enough to prevent the skipping of stitches.

TO ADJSUT THE LENGTH OF STITCH

The length of stitch is adj usted by screw T

, Fig 8. To lengthen the stitch, loosen locking l ever U and turn screw T over to the l eft or upward, then tighten locking lever U.

To shorten the stitch, loosen locking lever U and turn the screw T

over to

the right or downward, then tighten locking lever U.
